Abstract
This PhD project is a collaboration between Smart Light Devices, Ltd. in Aberdeen
and Aberystwyth University on the development of such 3D laser scanners with an
ultimate aim to inspect the underwater oil and ...

Using the properties of an image for the purpose of camera fixation is a difficult task in robotics. In this research, the selection of pixels for use in a minimization process is discussed and compared against other ...

Abstract
Mammographic risk assessment is concerned with estimating the probability of a
woman developing breast cancer. The aim is to improve the likelihood of early
detection of breast cancers. The leading factor in ...

Abstract
Unlike traditional 2D images, which are projections of the real world onto a two-dimensional surface, 3D images express the geometry of the objects of interest directly in terms of a set of points, a mesh, or a ...

Abstract
Feature selection is a term given to the problem of selecting important domain
attributes which are most predictive of a given outcome. Unlike other dimensionality
reduction methods, feature selection approaches ...

This thesis attempts to answer the question "Can we devise a language for interpretation of behavioural simulation of engineered systems (of arbitrary complexity) in terms of the systems’ purpose?" It does so by presenting ...

This thesis is concerned with the emergence of communication in arti cial agents as an integrated part of a more general developmental progression. We demonstrate how early gestural communication can emerge out of sensorimotor ...

Abstract
Can machine learning algorithms be trained to recognise beauty in music?
To what extent is human recognition of beauty in music cultural, or crosscultural?
Music is prevalent in all human cultures. Music ...

ABSTRACT
Breast cancer is currently the most common cancer among women worldwide.
Mammography has been the most reliable and e ective screening tool for the
early detection of breast cancer. Recently, computer-aided ...

Rough set theory (RST) was proposed as a mathematical tool to deal with the analysis of
imprecise, uncertain or incomplete information or knowledge. It is of fundamental importance to artificial intelligence particularly ...

This thesis documents the investigation into the acquisition of knowledge from
biological data using computational methods for the discovery of significantly frequent patterns in gene location and phylogeny.
Beginning ...
